Note: Typecast does not enable you to watch television it’s a guide to shows you want to watch. To enable these features, download Typecast WMC Server and install it on your Windows Media Center 8.1 or 7 computer.ĭownload Typecast WMC Windows 8.1 (64- and 32-bit) ĭownload Typecast WMC Windows 7 (64- and 32-bit) (This can replace Ceton’s abandoned My Media Center application.) You can also use Typecast to schedule programs to record on your WMC. This enables Typecast to communicate with WMC so it can indicate which programs have been recorded and which are scheduled to be recorded so that you can check your WMC recording schedule directly in Typecast. If you use Windows Media Center, you can install the optional Typecast WMC component. Typecast can perform sophisticated searches to find your programs and help you verify your DVR’s upcoming recording schedule.ĭownload Windows 10 and later (Supports 64- and 32-bit) ĭownload Images to use with Typecast searches (optional) Windows Media Center (optional) You can create searches for your favorite television programs or for programs you don’t even know about yet ( e.g., HD action comedies with Pierce Brosnan or Charisma Carpenter).Įven if you already have a DVR (I have two Windows Media Centers, two Rokus, and two cable guides), Typecast is a great companion because its search capabilities are more advanced than any DVR or cable provider. Typecast helps you create custom searches to display the shows you are interested in. Typecast displays only the television programs that you want to watch. Maybe they let you type in a program title or even search for a keyword, but even that makes you do all the work of figuring out the title or the correct keyword.

Conventional guides display a huge grid of programs arranged by television station or channel number and force you to scroll through it, desperately trying to find something you might be interested in. Typecast displays the results of your custom searches so that you can find the shows you care about. Typecast is a new kind of television guide (also called an electronic program guide or EPG).
